So recently I found out that my SSR MKII's are a welded 3 piece and I cannot swap wider lips without destroying the barrels, it seems most early SSR models are this design including the formula mesh. So I thought I'd start this thread so people like me who are searching Yahoo Japan for pretty Kyusha wheels know what to look for.. it's uber-expensive to buy an already wide set of wheels from Japan, so the plan for me is to find something in a narrow size but true 3 piece so I can easily swap new lips for a wide and negative offset set up. So far I'm told Volks and Hayashis are a non welded 3 piece, as well as BBS wheels (but those are too heavy in most cases). What else is there?!

We will find out tomorrow! I've sent one of my wheels to Perfect Metal Finishing in NJ to see if the wheels can be taken apart without destruction, if they can't do it my other option is Araya Wheels in CA, who I think retains only my original faces and replaces lip and barrel, to the tune of $1600 a set..
